Kenyans are set to enjoy cheap Wi-Fi after Safaricom reduced the prices of Wi-Fi routers by nearly half.
Huawei’s fourth-generation (4G) Wi-Fi router will retail for up to 40 per cent less, whereas Huawei routers will now retail for Kes6,999 instead of Kes10,999, and Adrian routers will go for Kes9,999 instead of the previous Kes 5,999.
The company says the reduction will increase home internet connectivity in the country.
“This end month, jibambe na 4G Wi-Fi! Enjoy a 40% price drop on Safaricom 4G Wi-Fi routers and indulge in the online experiences you love,” Safaricom said.
The routers can be purchased directly from the MySafaricom app, Safaricom shops, or dealers and through a USSD code.

The routers come with 30 GB of free data for 30 days.
Only last year, the telco rolled out 5G networks in five counties, enabling customers to access faster internet speeds.
The areas were Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisii, Kakamega, and Kisumu.
Faster than a 4G network, clients can download, stream, and play video at neck-breaking speeds.
Safaricom has 35 active 5G sites spread across Nairobi, Kisumu, Kisii, Kakamega, and Mombasa.
Plans are also underway to provide 5G data packages for mobile internet customers and leverage the Lipa Mdogo Mdogo device-financing solution to avail of more affordable 5G smartphones.
